RAILS                  
                                          
                                          
  
                                          
  
                                          
                                          
 TRAINS  ARE  SO  CONSTRUCTED  THAT  THEY 
 HAVE TO FOLLOW A SET PATH.  THIS PATH IS 
 CALLED A "RAILWAY",  WHICH IS  COMPRISED 
 OF  TWO METAL RAILS, HENCE ITS NICKNAME. 
                                          
 BECAUSE  THE LOW  FRICTION  BETWEEN  THE 
 WHEELS OF THE TRAIN AND  THE RAIL METAL, 
 THERE  ARE LIMITS FOR HOW ACUTE  A CURVE 
 CAN BE, AND EVEN  MORE SO FOR  HOW  MUCH 
 THE  GROUND  UNDER  THE   RAILS  CAN  BE 
 SLOPED. THUS A RAILWAY  IS OFTEN NOT LED 
 ON TOP OF HILLS,  RATHER THROUGH THEM IN 
 TUNNELS   (IF   THEY  ARE   LARGE),   OR 
            ARTIFICIAL CHASMS.            
                                          
 THERE  WILL BE TREES ON THE  SIDE OF THE 
 RAILS,  BUT NOT TOO CLOSE, OR  THEY WILL 
 BE  CUT  DOWN  BY THE  RAILWAY JANITORS. 
 THERE  WILL BE  PLAINS,  AND  BODIES  OF 
                  WATER.                  
                                          
 TRAINS GO  BY DAY  AND  BY  NIGHT. ALONG 
       THE WAY, THERE IS INFORMATION      
 SCATTERED,  OFTEN  PUT ON TOP  OF POLES, 
 TO BE INTERPRETED BY  THE TRAIN DRIVERS. 
 DIFFERENT  PARTS  OF  THE  RAILWAY  HAVE 
          DIFFERENT SPEED LIMITS.         
                                          
 SOMETIMES, TRAINS  HAVE TO STOP AND WAIT 
 FOR SOMETHING TO  HAPPEN, FAR AWAY. THIS 
 IS  SIGNALED BY  RED  OR  GREEN  LIGHTS. 
                                          
                                  
                                          
 MANY PEOPLE  FOLLOW  THE RAILS BY  FOOT. 
 OFTEN  THIS PROVES  TO  BE  THE  SHORTER 
 PATH  BETWEEN TWO POINTS.  HOWEVER  THIS 
 IS  FROWNED  UPON,  AND   VERY  IMPOLITE 
        TOWARD THE TRAIN DRIVERS!
